Bank of Ceylon (BOC) had earlier this year introduced its revolutionary new savings account with the objective of offering its valued customers unparalleled customer convenience. Since its launch the next generation offering has been witnessing unprecedented customer adoption at all its branches.
Given the tremendous customer response, the bank is currently rapidly rolling out the product island wide and recently has launched the product in its 300th branch. The product will be available at all BOC branches island wide by the end of August to ensure customers island wide can enjoy its multiple benefits.
The monumental launch was held at Bank of Ceylon’s Independence Square branch on Wednesday, 29 July and the event was graced by the presence of Bank of Ceylon Chairman, President’s Counsel Ronald C. Perera and General Manager D.M. Gunasekara. In addition multiple customers were present at the event, all of whom were eager to open their BOC SmartGen Savings Account.
